Pasta shows its versatility as a "pie crust" in Carol Beyerl's family-pleasing main dish. "This is a combination of several recipes. I came up with it when I didn't have all the ingredients to make any one of them," she writes from Ellensburg, Washington. A nice alternative to lasagna, the saucy entree doesn't taste light.

My kids usually don't like any kind of casserole or foods mixed together, but they love this "pie".

I sextupled this recipe (dividing it between two 14"-16" deep dish pizza pans) for a birthday party where the ages of the 17 guests ranged from age 3 to over 60 and it was a huge hit! Even the pickiest eater (a five year old) kept telling me how good it was and asked for seconds. Since not everyone is a fan of veggies, I substituted a total of 2.5 lbs extra lean ground turkey (seasoned according to the directions for Homemade Italian Turkey Sausage) for the green peppers and mushrooms. As a side note, sextupling the recipe is perfect for about 25 guests or if you want leftovers to enjoy later, which is exactly what we did!
